| Administrative boundary | A geographic polygon or polygons representing the perimeter of one administrative unit. |
| Administrative heirarchy | A set of recognized and hierarchical levels of administrative authority and geographic partition of a country or territory. Increasing administrative level numbers represent lower (geographically smaller and administratively subservient) units, with administrative level 0 representing the entire country, administrative level 1 representing the next lower level, and so on. - Afghanistan is divided into provinces, which are in turn divided into districts. Thus Afghanistan's administrative level 0 is the country (Afghanistan), administrative level 1 is the provinces, and administrative level 2 is the districts.
In some countries an administrative level may consist of more than one type of administrative unit. - The United States of America's administrative level 1 consists of States, the District of Colombia, and further remote units.
- Canada's administrative level 1 consists of provinces and territories.

| Emergency Response Preparedness | To enhance emergency preparedness within the multilateral humanitarian system, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) has developed the Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP) approach, which was adopted for field testing in August 2015. The approach is based on a review of relief operations over the past decade and enables the humanitarian community to proactively prepare for crises requiring a coordinated international response. |
